These EIF2 ALPHA ELISA kits are immunodetection tools for measuring the levels of EIF2 ALPHA in biological samples. EIF2 ALPHA is an alias of the human EIF2S1 gene, which encodes the protein, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit alpha. Notably, EIF2 ALPHA is known to play a role in pathways of aging and the response to oxidative stress, among other functions. The EIF2S1 protein is described to be 315 amino acid residues in length and 36.1 kilodaltons in mass. It is localized to the cytoplasm of the cell. This protein is known to be phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include EIF-2, EIF-2A, and EIF-2alpha. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
